Brontes:What about an article on the flying turd the F-35 or the Osprey? Money galore has been spent on those to things.

Last week an Air Force base announced they were cancelling their annual airshow due to cuts and the need to save money. In the same article, the public affairs person goes on to explain how they would move that money to other areas on the base that needed it.
